[WSBAPT] Avoiding mortgage payments during probate

[Heather de Vrieze]

On the contrary, I generally advise clients to keep payments current wherever possible, it avoids default interest and the possibility of foreclosure (which adds expense). If that is a problem, it is a good argument for getting the property on the market and sold asap. I will sometimes even advise selling cars and other belongings to keep those payments current.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Avoiding mortgage payments during probate

Dear Listmates,

I hope everyone had a restful long weekend and a wonderful Thanksgiving for those who observe the holiday.

I have a question about payments to a mortgage during probate. Does anyone have ideas, arguments, or strategies for avoiding mortgage payments during the pendency of probate where the lender has said it "is not their policy" to grant a forbearance during probate?

Warmly,
Laura
